I mean, I wouldn't exactly be happy if my $400-500 console wasn't the best

People swim in brine everytime there's good news on Xbox threads. But I say carry on with hapiness policing.

But there is noo news here, we all know this since forever, from the rumours to co firmation a year ago, people is not salty, people is tire tired of spamming of threads every time phill spenser release a fart

I'd think people are smart enough to skip a thread they don't like. Also, Phil's insight are good for conversations around this area.

bleh xbox sucks.

Are you going to elaborate on your incorrect position? Or shall we assume you are trolling?

What are you talking about?  I clearly specified console only gamers with that line.  Where did I say anywhere that no one can own both?  Especially when I consider myself a PC/console gamer?  However, if you're saying that most Scorpio owners will be PC gamers then please provide a source.

I never said anything about winning sales contests, either.  I said "significant market", which implies enough of a market to make production worthwhile.

Because. You are making the comparison point between a console and a PC. And I quote:

How many people care enough about graphical fidelity to pay that much but not enough to go the PC route?

They aren't mutually exclusive. I'll have both.

The phrase "too little, too late" comes to mind.

Its never too late to enjoy your games better ;)

Right, lemme just go ahead and drop my PS+, abandon my hard-earned trophy score, abandon all the games I already own digitally, sell my physical collection, sell my PS4 Pro, pre-order an Xbox Scorpio, and get all my friends to do the same.

 

Oh wait, no. That's stupid. This generation is too far in for a change to the status quo.

Nah, Scorpio is for people who already own XB1 to upgrade to. I'll purchase a secondhand XB1S when someone sells it to get a Scorpio.

Exactly, which makes the too little too late stuff even more silly.

Yea, that's why the Scorpio isn't changing much.  If you look at sales, interest in the XBO at $249 has started to drop, even in the US.  Having a $400-$500 version with prettier graphics isn't going to help much.  Especially since it'll only appeal to people in a handful of regions to begin with.

And while it's not the biggest reason to switch/stay, I think Sony coming up with a better trophy system is going to help.  I mean the gamerscore just seems outdated, like keeping score in Atari games.  It sure wasn't enough to keep people with Xbox, like some thought it might.  Having it work more like leveling up in a RPG just seems more interesting to me.  Again, I don't think it'll be a big reason, but I think it'll part of the reason people stay with PS this and next gen.
